Today, I received my Small HD DP4 EVF (not my camera rig pictured above) and I can say this thing will help me so much. I put it to work right away since I was filming another corporate video today. The focus assist made it incredibly easy to get sharp focus. I need to dial in the right color and exposure settings ( I didn’t have time to do it if we wanted to finish the shots today) but once I do I will pretty much never need to look at my camera’s LCD screen again. Right out of the box it worked great. My images came out a little over exposed but nothing I can’t fix since I was shooting with the Cinestyle on my DSLR. Friday night I will have this thing up and running like a beast. The screen is large enough to use as a monitor alone, which is awesome (which is also why I got it over the Zacuto EVF).
If you are looking for an EVF, the DP4 is frakin awesome.
More about this after this weekend since I have another shoot.
